Sixty-Five White Daisies And Ten Comments

Sixty five and ten daisies, One for each of their happy years, She drew them close to her heart And watered them with her tears. A wonderful love story un-blemished by the vagaries of long sixty five and ten years. Nicely penned. joseyalfred

my two favorite stanzas: That year, and those that followed, Frank made it his solemn routine to pluck a white daisy for each year, then present them to his queen. and She noticed the beautiful white daisies then came close and knelt by her man. She felt his pulse and then wept, as she told him she loved him, again. - - - - - - - - - - the other, he had made ready for eighty and three years ago..................age about 14. confirmation, baptism, what? - - - - - - - - in the poet's note you used petals and pedals. are you an avid bicyclist? i agree with another reader, that this is not sad at all. they were lucky to have and hold one another. they were lucky to not have some long, drawn-out, miserable, lonely, painful last few weeks, months, or years. thanks for sharing. bri :)

That was incredible. Gave me goosebumps.

outstanding poetry that redeems faith in love's endurance.

.......so beautifully you penned this write....i am so pleased they lived a long happy life together....and i feel truly this is everyone's dream....to find that one special someone and stay with them until the end....and yes, i have heard stories before of married couples passing away at almost the same time....truly a broken heart can kill you....perfect ending to a perfect marriage....who would want to live with the loss of their true love....thanks for writing this one....this is truly a beautiful love story.....

That their love blooms eternal, after nurturing it's garden for such long time...Such an elegant piece that leaves you celebrating, not mourning....Well done...beautiful sentiments. PEACE

Forgot to add that I will never be able to look at another daisy again without thinking of this gorgeous write!
